“Amazing time. Our guide Cameron was fantastic. So knowledgeable and capable. He was able to find us great wildlife and make sure that everyone was able to view it (especially our binocular challenged 8 year old). Cameron kept us entertained with great stories about the area to pass the time between animal sightings. Highly recommend this trip and outfitter.”

Everglades Airboat Safari Adventure with Transportation

3.Everglades Airboat Safari Adventure with Transportation

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 956 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $35Best value

A budget Miami Everglades airboat trip with transport, wildlife viewing, park exhibits, and important timing and location caveats.

“Per the website, the departure from the meet up site stated 1:00pm. We did not leave from the meet up site until 1:45pm. Also, the check in employee told me we were not on the passenger list and assumed I had a Groupon voucher when in fact, I paid full price for the excursion ahead of time. This was a disorganized and frustrating start to the event.”
